8220;The Girl from Ipanema8221; (8220;Garota de Ipanema8221😉 written in 1962 by Antonio Carlos Jobim with lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes and in English by Norman Gimbel was recorded by Astrud Gilberto, João Gilberto and Stan Getz, in March 1963 as part of the album Getz/Gilberto, released March 1964 on the Verve label. An abbreviated single version was released reaching number one on the Pop Standard chart and was named Record of the Year in 1965. The album won the 1965 Grammy Awards for Best Album of the Year, Best Jazz Instrumental Album 8211; Individual or Group and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The personel are Stan Getz 8211; tenor saxophone, João Gilberto 8211; guitar, vocals, Astrud Gilberto 8212; vocals, Antonio Carlos Jobim 8211; piano, Sebastião Neto 8212; bass, and Milton Banana 8211; drums. The version presented here is the long one from the album and is, in my opinion, superior to the shortened one which received a great deal of play on the radio during the summer of 1964. The album is available on CD on Verve. This sound recording is administered by UMG. No copyright infringement is intended.
